The Slopes out West
Mountains, fresh air, beautiful snow, great restaurants, lots of sleep, sunshine, days filled with skiing, pine trees for miles, my Doug and great friends - Breckenridge, Colorado! Such a beautiful state - I love the snow capped mountains and laid back feel. I love the breweries and the outdoor opportunities for adventure. If my loves weren't all East of the Mississippi - my place would be Colorado!
We had a blast on this trip! Stayed in a mountainside lodge where we could ski in/out to slopes. They had a shuttle that we could pick up and take down to the main street where cute little shops and amazing restaurants and breweries lined the street. Christmas lights and snow everywhere - mountains in the background. Breckenridge is straight out of a cozy storybook illustration. We had so much fun with our friends the Burnett's. And I love getting away and adventuring with my Doug. I even did a Black Diamond hill this time (not on purpose). I cannot even describe my fear at the top of the mountain - I felt like I was going to throw up and cry at the same time and wanted to ride the lift back down the mountain - but I did it and made it down slowly but safely :-)
I think we had enough stuff!
We found a Martini bar favorite - and they had a happy hour. My favorite - the key lime pie martinis!
Our lodge...
Can you see the fear in my eyes? This was at the top of the all black diamond hill....I was about to wet my pants here!
